Cost of Raising a Boy.

"My father never did anything for
me, " isan observation which is frequently
heard from the lips of young men, but in
most cases little reflection would con
vince the speaker that he is making a
serious error. A recent writer, hearing
the remark uttered by young fellow
whose education, as the phrase goes, had
just been completed, and who was look
ing around him to find an opening in
business, took the trouble to estimate
the cost of bringing up the said young
fellow from his birth, which had been
betrayed, of course, by the parent referred
to in such sighting way. These are
his figures:
500 per year for the first five years, .,.. $500
Sl5O per year for the second five years. $50
500 per year for the third five years 900
$500 per year for the next three years 500
$500 per year for the next two years. . 900
Total. .......................S4,l5O $50
With few notifications, these figures
may be taken to represent the average
expense entailed in raising an ordinary
boy. Many parents spend several times
as much. ltwould certainly be well for
young men who take all this as a matter
of course, and think that their fathers
have done nothing for them, to reflect
that they owe a heavy debt of gratitude
to those that have brought them up from
helpless infancy and equipped them to
fight for themselves the battle of life

threat of eoeoumanication had been CARRIED
INTO execution. The statement by him which
TIE TRIBUNE lays before its readers to-day
breathes the same spirit, despite the fact that
ne has had lime for calm reflection Ono OF
the most striking things in ii is the assertion
that he has never positively Iefused TO go TO
Rome. Yet his accommodation is explicitly
based upon his disobedience Of the mandate
su'nInoning him thifher. DR.. McifiyIm also
5ustifies his taking the communion last Sunday
inorniDg, in spite of his sentence, and insists
that he would do it again in n church where
he was not known by the officiating priest
The statement also includes a translation OF
tie letter from Cardinal Simeoni containing
The pe,empsory order to appear in Rome

simplicity and tenderness of feeling 1t was
admirably adapted to the occasion and the
circumstances. The President was revisiting
his early home, and he yielded to a natural
impulse when he spoke Familiarity and affec-
tienately of the village. his fathers house
hold and his schooling. IT WIS a sympathetic
and human speech. and was cordially received
by the people of the village, who, while ey-
pecting something more ambitious, were
charmed by mis- sincerity and simplicity. The
second speech was more seriOiS in tone, re-
lifting to the supreme dignity OF the Office
which represents the sovereignty Of sixty
millions of people. 1t was mere formal and
sentcntions than, the mornings personal reani-
niscences If his village home and sohOOlfellows.
